I am looking for suggestions of a therapist and/or clinic for my teen daughter and me dealing with separation/divorce issues.

This guy seems so reasonable... He's aware that flexibility is key AND he seems to even be aware that people actually have families! Mark should be more Jeromy.

Hi! Are there any good places to get Trinidad Doubles/Pholourie in Ottawa? I’ve been craving it lately but still relatively new to the area. Preferably around the Nepean area, but feel free to suggest other places in Ottawa! If I’m in that area I’ll stop to get them :)

Can someone explain my bill from the general hospital?

74 Upvotes

I recently had an anaphylactic reaction to a food allergy, and no sooner was I getting dropped off by an uber to my home was I calling 911. Between the ambulance and the hospital they gave me 4 shots of epinephrine, kept me 4 hours to monitor me and sent me packing. While I expected to be billed 250$ for the ambulance, my bill is 1100$ and mychart has my Ohip number on file.

This is a reasonable price to save my life, doesn’t OHIP cover me visiting emerg (540$), sleep studies (50$) and lab services (270$) ?

Edit: while mychart has a OHIP number on file, it must’ve changed and not been put up to date. I’ve been spending time away from my place but will be back in the morning to double check and call the billing department. Thank you everyone!

Indigo parking at Vincent Massey

I was just informed via email that I no longer have monthly parking at this lot as of August 1. My guess is they know that they can make more money charging people a daily rate now that we are back in the office 4 days a week.

Looking for wood workshop to rent - know of any?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am looking to rent a workshop for woodworking and am struggling to find any that are not $1500+ / month and an hour outside the city without heating for winter months.

I do not want to join one of the membership-based options in the city as they have extremely limited hours available.

I have my own tools, I simply need a space big enough for my carpentry and furniture related work.

In an ideal situation, it would be under $900 / month and a private space (but am open to shared spaces).

I've looked high and low online but can't find anything.

If you know of anything available, please let me know.

Found autistic boy

380 Upvotes

Child on the spectrum found running around our neighborhood. He is non verbal and currently with the ottawa police. Please call ottawa police if you know the child. And if you have any other idea on who else to contact as in social groups online please let me know so we can do that.

Edit: this happened on Decoeur drive Orleans. The boy is black and about 6 to 7 years old.

Update: Police SUV left my neighborhood a couple of minutes ago. I did not have the chance to ask if they could keep me updated just for peace of mind. But I am hopeful that they will reunite him with his family. Thank you to everyone

48 Upvotes

Special mentions: - apples $6/6lb ($2.20/kg, No Frills) - beef ("French" steaks) $6.85/lb ($15.09/kg, Super C) - eggs $7.44/30-pack (24¢/ea, Adonis Gatineau Thursday and Friday only), $8.88/30 (29¢/ea, Adonis Ottawa) - grapes $1.75/lb ($3.85/kg, Super C), $1.99/lb ($4.38/kg, FreshCo, Maxi) - green peppers $1.99/lb ($4.38/kg, FreshCo) - mushrooms $1.50/227g ($6.61/kg, Maxi), $1.97/227g ($8.68/kg, GT) - pork (tenderloin) $2.99/lb ($6.59/kg, Super C)

Now that flipp is only showing Metro ON flyers to ON postcodes and Metro QC flyers to QC postcodes, I've run my script twice, with two different postcodes. This has uncovered some interesting differences at Adonis, and a minor variation at GT; I hadn't realized that those stores also did per-province pricing.
